We had a great time at Waverly and ended up bringing home 10 Silkey chicks that my daughter wanted. She spent most of the morning petting puppies and rabbits and giving me her sad eyes that we could not take any home. When at the end we came through the lunch stand building and they had those chicks I gave in. Much easier to take care of then another puppy.

Met some great people and handed out cards for the swap this weekend. See you all Sat. In Maquoketa.

Hey Laurie- how does that work if you want to bring birds from Illinois into Iowa for the Maquoketa sale?

They have to be free from diseases and Pullorom and Typhoid tested 90 days from the swap. We will have a tester on site and I think it is 25 cents a bird and you only have to test 10% or your birds.

Don't miss out on this one.

There will be over 400 cages of poultry for you to look through. Peacocks, pheasants, pigeons, and of course all kinds of chickens.

I am on facebook and we have a group for the Eastern Iowa Bird Breeders Swap

I'm on FB but haven't been on there much lately. Will go message you today.

I was checking out that sale link above and in the sale terms it says all cages sell with animals? What does that mean? If I sell a bird I have to give you the cage? That seems weird...

Stephanie,
If it's an auction, then yes, the cage goes with. Most people cobble something together out of leftover supplies. You don't need to even have a door on it. The purchaser can dismantle the cage to get the animals out. A lot of people drill holes in 2 tin cans, affix them to the inside of the cage for food and water for during the sale.
